AxLedgerJournalTrans trans = new AxLedgerJournalTrans();
container ledgerDimensions, offsetDimensions;
header.parmJournalName("GenJrn");
header.save();
trans.parmAccountType(LedgerJournalACType::Ledger);
trans.parmJournalNum(header.ledgerJournalTable().JournalNum);
ledgerDimensions = ["131100-USA","131100", 1, "COUNTRY","USA"];
trans.parmLedgerDimension(AxdDimensionUtil::getLedgerAccountId(ledgerDimensions));
trans.parmAmountCurDebit(230);
offsetDimensions = ["0103-USA","0103", 1, "COUNTRY", "USA"];
trans.parmOffsetLedgerDimension(AxdDimensionUtil::getLedgerAccountId(offsetDimensions));
trans.save();
